Taking Notes and Tracking Stats

[dandy_don]

A couple of things that I realize that I do poorly and should do a better job, are taking notes on players and tracking my stats.

Typical notes (when I decide to write 'em):

"chaser" - someone that chases a gut shot straight, a 3-straight or a 3-flush without slowing down whether they hit or not

"%&*$" - the chaser that hit the gut shot straight, 3-straight or 3-flush

"solid" - better than me [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

"weak" - extremely weak player (this note isn't written often enough [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img])

Sometimes, I'll post a note on a players first 3 cards if they called a completed bet or raise with junk

What type of notes do you guys keep?


A few weeks ago, someone mentioned developing a "home-made" version of a stud tracking program for some of the other sites since The Stud Tracker only works for Party and skins. Has anyone made progress on this?

Do any of you keep a journal to track your progress/stats as many of the books recommend? What items should be kept BB/100, or BB/hour, time of day, day, etc.? What stats are different for Stud than the stats most of the HE books recommend?

I've always thought I needed to keep track of the names of those that I profit from in order to find them on the tables later, but I never seem to do it. I need a software program to keep me straight [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
